The 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, known for his game-changing speed, versatility, and relentless pass rush, has decided to pursue a new opportunity away from Dallas.
Parsons, who quickly became the heart of the Cowboys' defence, cited issues in contract negotiations as the primary reason for wanting to leave.
“I no longer want to be here,” Parsons announced in a lengthy statement shared on social media.
The move, which caught many by surprise, would leave a significant void in the Cowboys' defence if Parsons does indeed get his way.
Parsons is widely considered one of the top defensive players in the league, and his ability to impact the game from multiple positions made him a cornerstone of Dallas' side.
The Cowboys, importantly, have no intention of letting their star linebacker go, according to reports.
The Parsons bombshell comes after Washington Commanders star wide receiver Terry McLaurin also officially asked to be traded.
